Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0045981A2] A planetary differential (10) for a vehicle is disclosed which has first and second interconnected planetary gear assemblies (12, 14). A carrier element (30) of the first planetary gear assembly (12) is connected to a first output member (18), and a ring element (34) of the second planetary gear assembly (14) is connected to a second output member (20). The sun elements (28, 36) of each planetary gear assembly (18, 20) are connected together for joint rotation, and the carrier element (38) of the second planetary gear assembly (14) is held stationary. A third planetary gear assembly (46) is compactly disposed on a common axis (24) with the first and second planetary gear assembly (12, 14) to drive an input member (16) connected to the ring element (26) of the first planetary gear assembly (12). The differential (10) continually drives the output members (18, 20) at equal torque levels in each speed
